The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A 19-year-old woman named Hannah spends her first Christmas alone with her father Poul after her mother's death. They try to keep up their family traditions during the dinner, but grief comes out as blame, awkward silence, and misunderstandings.

What happens

På høje tid er en kortfilm fra 2015 instrueret af Sylvia Le Fanu. Den 19-årige Hannah skal for første gang fejre jul alene med sin far Poul efter morens død. De forsøger begge desperat at opretholde familiens traditioner under julemiddagen, men under overfladen ulmer sorgen, der kommer til udtryk i bebrejdelser, berøringsangst, misforståelser og i den akavede stilhed. Hvordan kan man finde hyggen, når sorgen banker på? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
